It was wonderful! I did read people complained about noise due to bars and restaurants around, I was there for cinco de mayo and honestly it wasn't loud enough to keep us awake. Room is clean, friendly staff and I loved the location. Definitely staying again when I visit san diego

A horrible experience. No staff support, or management ordering hierarchy of any kind. They tried to charge me $10 dollars for a towel, unless I gave them a 5 star review. The worker then cited that it was the hostels policy and she didn’t need to deal with this then just walked away.
